I'm 5'10" and the short bag (6')seems to be a tad too short... fine if you want to feel like a caterpiller ready to escape to butterfly away, but I exchanged for the "regular" (6'6") bag...backcountry.com's customer service is unparalleled!

Okay, a followup review after having worn this and washed it a number of times.....the zipper tends to get caught up sometimes in little threads of material that should be better sealed to prevent fraying, other than that, wears great, washes well.

A great lightweight zipper-front shell....zipper is a one-way, so can't open at the waist to vent....sizing is accurate.....I thought that this item would run small...it doesn't.....has one large (zipper closure) back pocket Very visible neon yellow color..no physcal vents, but fabric supposedly breathes...haven't tried it yet in steamy conditions!
